These resources have been gathered to assist Centers for Independent Living in understanding social media and how it can be used to benefit consumers and other stakeholders. The wiki was originally developed to support a 2.5 day on location training held in August, 2009. We're continuing to make the resources from that original training available to all CILs through this site.
